Happy Tuesday everyone.
Did you know :
Hip dysplasia, which occurs across all mixed-breed and purebred dogs, is the most common inherited musculoskeletal disorder. Of all dogs for which radiographs are submitted to the Orthopedic Foundation for Animals (www.ofa.org), 14.6% are rated as dysplastic. This is a low estimate, as clinically apparent cases may not be submitted for evaluation.
Small dogs with hip dysplasia usually do not show the pain and discomfort seen in larger dogs, demonstrating a size - weight relationship to clinical presentation.
